Party Time for Nichole!!!

Lisa just posted that Nichole passed her EMT exam! This was a big struggle for her, and is a huge achievement!:queen:

I say we throw her a CD Board Bash! I will bring the AWESOME peanut butter chocolate chip cookies that Jessie makes, a big bottle of wine, some margarita fixin's and maybe even my super special chocolate chocolate chip cheesecake!

What else will we have?

Raoul, could you come and join us? I think it may be time for our Nichole to have one of your FABULOUS massages.

I'll bring some salsa and chips to go with those margueritas... I'll also bring pina coladas to get us in that tropical mood...THINK WARMTH!!! (I'm FREEZING and currently wearing two pairs of socks...)

I showed her my announcement post and this one and she got all red in the face and kept telling me it was really not that big a deal. Then she wanted to know who Raoul is.

And I'm grabbing a piece of that cheescake before it's all gone! (really, I need the extra calories to keep warm) But I brought her favorite....chocolate pudding cake with a gallon of homemade vanilla ice cream. Oh, and ignore the pig roasting over the spit, it won't be done for a few hours.

If anyone is interested I will post the cheesecake recipe. It truly is amazing. And very easy to make - it cooks a long time in a low temp oven and is so rich and creamy. I will suggest using regular cream cheese or at least half reg cream cheese and half lower fat cream cheese.

Just let me know!

And Nichole, We are SO PROUD OF YOU!! THIS IS A BIG DEAL!!!! YOU ARE AN AMAZING YOUNG WOMAN!

I'll bring a bib and a fork!!!
Hot cocoa with fixins' for those that like to enjoy.
Home-made pizzas, white pizza and margharita pizza.
Lots of fresh salsa and home made tortilla chips.
Cheesecake.... I don't even know what you are saying!!!

WHOOO HOOOOO Way to go Nichole. And yep, it IS a big deal to succeed at something like this. It isn't easy and all your hard work deserves a party. I've got lemon basil shrimp and warm brownies with icecream
